The 4-H Tick Project is a community science project engaging K-12 youth and educators in partnership with 4-H Youth Development, UMaine Cooperative Extension Tick Lab, and the Maine Forest Tick Survey, and members of the Learning Ecosystems Northeast partnership. The project provides youth an opportunity to explore the impacts of climate change and contribute data to a research project established to determine how forest land management practices impact tick populations and disease risk across Maine. Educators will receive sampling materials, activity guides/lesson plans, and support carrying out the project protocols.
A Zoom link to the session will be sent by email the week of the workshop.
